Bean There, Done That!
Fair trade within the coffee industry is of great importance in Central and East African, considering that 500 billion cups of coffee are consumed around the world each ear.
For the past ten years Bean There Coffee Company has been serving some of the best coffee in South Africa. The roastery strives to make a sustainable difference in the lives of African coffee producers by personally sourcing quality coffee through direct fair trade – cutting out the middle man completely. By doing so Bean There has been able to make a noticeable difference in the communities they source their coffee beans from – most noticeably in Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee.
